10 World’s Most Expensive Restaurants

I know it sounds like an oxymoron, but some of the world's best restaurants are also some of the most expensive.

Take into consideration that subsequent time you are ordering a $30 steak and a $6 glass of wine. These eateries take eating to a wholly new degree with their lavish decor and high-end substances. They’ve earned their status for being among the many greatest eating places on this planet; do not miss out on checking them out!

  1. 1 Sublimotion

    What's the most expensive restaurant in the world?

    It's Sublimotion. And it's located in Ibiza, Spain. It has a price tag of $2,400 per person—and that includes the bottle of water! Wowza!

    If you're thinking about going there for dinner, here are some things you should know:

    • The cuisine is molecular gastronomy (a fancy way of saying it uses science to make food taste amazing).
    • There are strict rules for reservations—you have to book at least six months in advance and pay half the bill up front before even making your reservation. If you don't follow those rules exactly, they won't let you eat there!
    • There are 10 tables seating 10 people each (but only one table seats nine). No matter how many people are eating at your table, your meal will cost $2,400 per person.
  2. 2 Kitcho Arashiyama Honten

    Japanese cuisine is famous for many things, including its use of traditional ingredients and cooking techniques. Kitcho Arashiyama Honten is the perfect place to experience these qualities. Located in the Arashiyama district of Kyoto, this restaurant serves traditional kaiseki cuisine at its finest. 

    The fish dishes are particularly special, with ingredients sourced from all over Japan; this includes Matsutake mushrooms from Hokkaido (the northernmost island), Wagyu beef from Hyogo (the closest prefecture to Kyoto), and bluefin tuna from Okinawa.

    A meal here will cost you around ¥20 000 for dinner without drinks or service charge—that's about $180 USD! That's not a small chunk of change by any means but perhaps worth it if you're into fine dining or want to treat yourself after hitting it big on the stock market?

  3. 3 Guy Savoy

    Ithaa Undersea Restaurant is located in the Maldives, a country made up of 26 atolls and 1,200 islands in the Indian Ocean. It’s one of the world’s most expensive restaurants because it has been designed with an underwater theme, making it feel like you’re dining in an aquarium. The restaurant was built inside a giant white dome that can be lowered into the sea if needed to keep its guests safe from tsunamis or other natural disasters. The main course on their menu is seasonal seafood from local fisheries, but they also offer vegetarian and vegan options as well as gluten-free dishes for those who require them.

    The restaurant was opened in 1946 as part of an effort by Georges Bidault, then mayor of Paris, to raise money for charity through his "sociétés d'aujourd'hui" (today society). This society hosted private dinners at which guests were served the finest wines and dishes available at that time. At first these dinners were held at Hotel Ritz but moved several years later when Georges Bidault became mayor of Paris; they then took place at Hotel Crillon where they remain today.

  1. This is so true because I went to a restaurant and oh my when I saw the menu I quietly walked out as I went. It was so expensive so I can relate to this post :). Great posts though.
